I was in the middle of conducting the first virtual supervision workshop when I received the sms from my father saying that I was selected to perform hajj this year together with my hubby. The letter from Tabung Haji arrived that day.  Hard to describe my feelings...but 'syukur' is definitely one of it...

Have been longing to do hajj ....finally granted.. Both hubby and I are scheduled to leave on Nov 18th 09. Many told us that it would be a very personal journey. I believe so too..

Below is a Malay - language poem about my dream to perform hajj..Shall update ths page after I come back from hajj, insha Allah..

Ketika hati sering merindu

Kusebut-sebut namaMu

Pilu…..sendu…

 

Tatkala itu juga dugaan menimpa bertalu-talu

Terkedu aku di situ...

Hatiku, bibirku...tidak terucap

Melainkan namuMu yang satu...

 

Kembali berputik kuntum-kuntum redha...

Di atas segalanya...

 

LambaianMu ...

Jiwaku semakin rindu..

Semoga kan tiba detik yang kutunggu

Untuk menjadi tetamu di bumi suci bergersang batu

 

Seruan itu...

Kan kudatang menyahut panggilanMu,

Tuhan yang tidak ada sekutu.....

Ku akur...

Sesungguhnya segala pujian, nikmat dan pemerintahan

Adalah kepunyaanMu....

 

Tuhanku,

Bukakanlah pintuMu itu...

Buat insan ini yang tidak pernah henti merindu.....
